I too cannot understand some of the instructions. Please, can someone tell me how to change the recording mode?

I wish I knew how to help with that. I recommend returning the unit. I wish I had prior to leaving the country. Amazon needs to step up against the seller in my humble opinion. Best of luck!

I never did understand it. It is a piece of junk and does not work. Wasted my money for sure.

Found no operating instructions...they leave you totally on your own! Practice with button presses and see when you get a recording or not is the only way I've found!

The following instructions are all given assuming that you are looking at the back of the camera.While the camera is on, press the TOP LEFT (OK) button once to stop recording. Then press the BOTTOM LEFT (Mode) button Twice, this brings you to the menu. Press the TOP RIGHT (Up) button Once, then press the TOP LEFT (OK) button Once to switch to the Settings tab. Once on the Settings tab press the BOTTOM RIGHT (Down) button Once. Then press the TOP LEFT (OK) button UNTIL you see the language you desire displayed on the screen (the whole menu changes language as you cycle through the options).I'm giving you these instructions out of memory, so if it doesn't work, let me know and I'll verify the steps with my cam.

There is no on-off button. You have to plug and unplug, or turn off through device. Device should control recording.

Mine has options in the menu for loop recording ("off", "3 min", "5 min", and "10 min"). I have it set to "off". When full it displays an icon that indicates that it's recording over the old footage, but when I go to play back the latest recording it isn't available. I pulled the card to check it on my laptop and

Can you please recommend me any recording software to use with this? I just don't know any! :-) Thanks!

To tell you the truth I bought this to record conversation. I couldn't make heads or tails of the *instruction manual* either. The only way I figured out how to record was by trial and error. It sure comes with enough cords. I guess you could just sit down and go into Sherlock Holmes mode and try to figure it out. Wish I could be of more assistance here but I'm a real techno idgit.

Currently I'm no help. I only use 9 cameras and haven't used the recording as yet.

Sorry, can't help, have not tried to record with this machine. But there is a record button on the remote, so you must be able or that would not be there. Make sense.

I turned off the motion activated setting (I think it's delivered with that setting on) and then set it to record at the maxium 15 min segment. It'll still talk every once and a while, but not nearly as often. After I set it up this way it basically just records continuously ( but it does say 'recording' if a new 15 min segment starts. As far as I can tell there isn't a way to simply turn off that annoying pointless voice that you can't even understand anyway. Hope that helps.

After you install the new firmware to the card, power the unit up while holding down the play button. Then press the >> button once and press record....give it about 5 seconds and then power it off and then back on and it should work just fine.....just sort of did it by accident!

The recording is actually quite simple. On the back there is a switch for record and playback. When you are ready to record you just flip switch to record. once you press the center in to hear how it sounds and you like what you hear you just flip the switch back to playback. This way when you put it in a stuff animal it can't accidentally be recorded over. Hope this helped

I tried couple of times,it acts like is recording like the countdown and REC mode on display , but when you want to replay what you recorded said " error format " or something like that.

Darlene: You've probably already figured it out by now, but I'm going to post this reply for anyone else who may be having the same problem. While in DVD mode (the green light above "DVD" is lit up, push the "Rec Mode" button on your remote control. It is the button just to the left of the red "Record" button. Each time you press that a new record speed will appear on your screen. It cycles through each one and then goes back to the beginning and will even tell you how many minutes you have left on that disc to record with at that speed.

Am I understanding that you want to glue the Record button down, to effectually just the Power button to start recording. Short answer maybe not. I have these units and It seems that recording either starts or stops Once you release the button.

on the left side of the control, push it to activate the camera, don't get confused with the red and green LED on the camera, green means it is off, red means to record. good luck!
